Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
I will no longer buy this product due to the new packaging. The cap plug breaks everytime and the product goes all over the place. There was nothing wrong with the old packaging.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
everything about it (except maybe the price!) i am shocked about all the negativity! started to work the very 1st night i used it, and every day got better and better! now my skin is so clear and smooth!
Cons:
the salycilic acid "spot stick" is a waste of time! i got it free with my pack as a promotion, and it does nothing and dries out after a few days! useless! glad i didnt pay for it! but everything else is amazing, would be good a bit cheaper though!!
if you have the patience and the discipline to do it at night...it works!
i use the cleanser, toner and repairing cream at night, and a wipe in the morning (so the creams last longer and to save time) and it works fantastically for me! at the end of the day, if you REALLY want to have clear skin, you'll have the discipline to use it every night! i have even skipped a few nights while i had forgotten it while staying at friends houses and just used regular face wipes, and it made no difference to my skin AT ALL! maybe i will try using it every other night to save money, but all in all i enjoy the whole experience as i am so girly and love pampering myself!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Well it seemed to work the first couple of days cleared up the light acne I had.
Cons:
My face looks worse than it ever has in its life. I wish I never started using it. The only reason I still am and am staying optimistic that I hoping it still might work. You know how they say first the ugly comes out before you see the beauty? I do
It might work on your skin type'I really wish it worked on mine, but be aware that it might make your acne worse. Start with the trial.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
helps really bad acne, but doesn't do much for small pimples
Cons:
dries out your skin a lot around the mouth (I have never had dry skin before until I used proactive) and is really expensive
if you have severe acne try it but if your acne is not severe than go with something else

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
After only one day using the three step program my face reduced in redness, pimples were starting to dry, and my skin was smooth and soft. After using the three step program for a while, my skin tone started to even out and pimples started to fade.
Cons:
The clarifying lotion stings when applying it, however that happens with all acne products.
Overall, a GREAT product. Even though you have to spend more money on it than when you buy something like clean and clear, the three step program doensn't disappoint.
Pros:
It seem to work really well i've used benzoyl peroxcide before in Benzaclin(?) but i didn't want to get that again. I bought the Wal-Mart Brand and it seems good so far i've only used last night this morning and just now when i got home from school:)
